Good Morning 2.8.2008

This course is specifically designed for anyone who has struggled to identify their values, passions and purpose. Over four weeks we will complete a series of exercises that will allow you to CLEARLY articulate the most important forces that drive your life. When we articulate, understand and live by our values, passions and purpose, we can finally fill that ache that is looking for "something more."

It is often said that a picture is worth a thousand words, and those who keep visual journals have found that statement to be very true. If you have tried a written journal and become frustrated for lack of the "right word," or if you want to take your journaling to another level a visual journal may be the answer.

With one of my New Year's Resolutions being a goal of adding more "creative time" to my life, I realized that I needed a system to make finding and using items more suitable for my creative-personality.

Step-by-step, I began to work through my creative space, using new approaches and knowledge from my other organizational systems that had worked long-term. I adapted these to specifically match people when in the "creative zone," (who often do not want to stop and put the item back after use, or even put the cap on a glue stick)! In the end, I derived a "creative organizational system," that I will share with you over 5 weeks while and helping you to customize your own personal creative space.

Good morning! When I was about sixteen I had one of those "light-bulb" moments. As a teen I battled Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (and still do today), but at that point I had not yet been diagnosed and my thoughts and emotions were all over the board. I often felt discouraged, would beat myself up, or feel guilty--many times for things completely outside of my control.

I also lived in a very small town, about 300 residents in all. There was a local cafe where many would cluster and discuss the "town gossip." I was amazed at how much of this gossip focused on the negative and on the past. As I listened, I realized that in my mind, I was doing much the same thing. I was rehashing the past, feeling guilt for it, and losing the present moment as I battled something from yesterday.

The "light-bulb" moment came when I asked myself, "How would my life change if I spent 9/10'ths of that time, focusing on changing the PRESENT instead of rehashing the past?" Not only did I ask the question, I began living the answer. My life changed in phenomenal ways. By living in the moment, yet learning from the past, the concept of "regret" became a rare one for me because I was making today count.

At sixteen, I didn't realize that moment would become the first building block for living a content and complete life. I didn't know that would be the building block for the Change Your Life Challenge program that has helped over 10,000 women find the same contentment in all areas of their lives.

Your Turn:
What if you spent 9/10ths of the time where you think about the past, changing the present? I know you would realize wonderful things. Try it this for 30 days. This simple concept can revolutionize your life.

Your Affirmation:
I learn from the past, but I don't sit in detention ...instead I move forward and maximize the moment.

Challenge Life!
